I thought Metallica was pretty good, but they played one too many songs from the black album.

The only good bike is the one you will actually want to ride, so I'd say you were actually on the right track with your original post. I have several bikes, but I enjoy riding my goofy little comfort bike the most because it reminds me of being a kid and just hopping on a bike to go for a spin. Fran...

I'm not piggy (just fatty), but I'll take a shot at your question. I would not try to work out to strengthen your throwing arm. That is a perfect recipe for a rotator cuff injury. It is very difficult to simulate the throwing motion while working out and you'll probably just hurt yourself. Some guys...

Maple are more expensive but should last longer. Ash bats in the $20-40 range are typically not made of very good wood (wide grains) and are more susceptible to breakage. I don't know that maple hit any better, but that's all I've been using as they seem to be the 'in' thing with the old man set. I ...

I'm in my second year of old man baseball (35+ wood bat) and I love it. I'm a pitcher as well, and what I do to get some throwing in is buy some rubber balls that look like baseballs (Dick's and Sports Authority have them for $2 or $3 each, made by Franklin) and throw them up against a brick wall. I...

I'm an NL apologist as well. My bias started early. My parents are from Pennsylvania, so when we visited, everyone talked about the Phillies and their games were shown (living in New Mexico, we only got the Game of the Week). The Big Red Machine was in full effect, so I got interested in them as wel...

I found one today at Toys R Us. The victory capped a long two months of searching, continually telling the kids, 'don't worry, we'll find one!' I stopped believing it myself. I had two near misses last week (missed by one hour at Gamestop and Wal-Mart) and was having nasty PS2 flashbacks, when I cou...

Just finished 2.5 hours of shoveling to get our cars driveable and get a path out of the cul-de-sac. Everyone in the neighborhood was out helping each other. It was actually kinda fun. We get a major storm maybe once every 3 to 5 years, otherwise it's a few inches here and there throughout the winte...

I can't imagine you would have any trouble selling it. I took a drive down to Best Buy his morning and there were about 50 people in line so I just came home (I only live 5 min. away with no traffic). I had a similar experience this morning. Got to BB around 6:15 and I was about 30th in line. A lit...

Thanks for the comparison. I happen to hate the name HD DVD, it's just too many letters and I hate trying to explain it to someone, so I was just making a dumb joke. Blu-Ray does sound pretty cool, though.

Badgun, why do you like Blu-Ray better than HD DVD, besides the name?

sd, where did you get that coupon for $40 at CC? I found it online, but it says no reproductions or photocopies will be accepted. Are you on a CC mailing list or something?

The Circuit City website says that a couple of my local stores have them in stock. I am confused as to this launch, apparently there was no firm release date? There are some reviews on Amazon and they are (of course) positive.

Ironic that Microsoft is having trouble upgrading their software. My 360 died last month. I called them on Sept. 30 and got a repaired unit back on Oct. 10. I was pretty happy with the turnaround, but then my TV died two days ago. The repairmen were just here, but they were unable to fix it, so they...

Ugh, what a disappointment. Thanks for the warning, you just saved me some money!

Did anyone get a deal for this? I see Target is offering a $5 gift card and Circuit City is (was) offering a free T-shirt with purchase. Anything I missed?

Select does not seem to work for throwing the ball away. I don't think you can.

I've definitely played downloaded demos when not connected via the Ethernet cable. It doesn't sound good for your new bundle of joy...

Please accept my condolences.

This is very cool, congratulations to you both!

She called you a brat in her bio, by the way.

I'm trying to be a good athlete; I had my knee scoped on Wednesday in the hopes I can get back to playing baseball and basketball. Ask this question again in a month or so!

I've had that happen three times in two games. I thought it was just something I did wrong, although I couldn't figure out what I did that was so bad. I'll keep my eye on this as you are right, it's an instant triple or inside-the-park HR and very frustrating. Do you have defense set to manual, assi...

Oh, I forgot to mention SiennaClub.org as a good forum for Toyota discussion. You'll have to wade through a lot of biased, still-justifying-my-purchase fanboyism, but there is some very good info and sometimes you'll even find an even-handed discussion of the Sienna vs. the Odyssey. I believe there ...
